I constantly surprise people with what I like in terms of music. My nieces and nephews like talking about music with me because they know I'll give whatever they're into an objective listen, and if it's not my thing, that's exactly what I'll tell them. They're used to adults telling them their music sucks, and to have one who is willing to at least listen to it (And frequently like it), gives them hope for us old geezers.

I was really disappointed with R&C: Quest for Booty. It was lacking all the little things that make R&C games so much fun for me.

As you probably noticed, I spent a chunk of time yesterday playing LEGO Star Wars: TCS. I'm still missing the blue canisters and several achievements, one of which is to play through an entire level online.

Bummer about your weekend, Chris.

I consider my backlog my treasure hoard. I will never run out of games to play. It's especially good when I just don't have the finances to buy new games, like right now. As for picking a game, it's usually pretty random. Right now, I'm confined to my 360, PS3, and my handhelds until the old heating system gets removed and I can set up my older systems and CRT TV in its place.

Thanks for sharing these, Blake. I liked all four of them, and really enjoyed the first and last enough to possibly go lookin for more of their music.

Being as my OCD causes me to play things in order of release, and I've yet to play any of the MGS games, probably not likely to blog about it any time soon. We need to get GH back to blogging. He's the biggest Metal Gear fan I know.

I prefer physical copies for the most part, but that's mostly due to space constraints and a download cap (curse you, Comcast!). That said, I do love Microsoft's Games With Gold program. I've gotten several games that I probably never would have tried otherwise and ended up loving.

I'm the opposite from you, I generally prefer story over gameplay. I love how there's plenty of choices for both camps, though.

The very best airport layover I ever had was in Vegas. I found myself a seat with a great view of several banks of slot machines and just people-watched for the whole three hours. I can't remember if I wrote down my observations anywhere else but in an email to my sister, though.

Rodney lives! I know very well how being busy at work affects blogging.

Glad you enjoyed it. I've been an avid naturalist since I was old enough to notice the world around me, so it really shouldn't have surprised my family when I decided to become a park ranger. What surprises most people is the fact I'm also a gamer. Love busting that stereotype wide open.

Thanks for the well wishes for my speedy healing. So far, so good, I haven't re-opened the cut, it's still clean, and the glue is holding.
